This is the closest nearby dirt trail for a hike or running. It has some nice hill views, but Hidden Canyon park is better for views of the Bay. There's street parking nearby. It's hilly!

Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
You'll need a car (or depend on ride share)
You definitely need to use a car to get around the Bay. If you want to go up to San Francisco, driving is easiest and gives you the most flexibility. But you can also get on the Caltrain and go up to the city by getting on the North track at the San Carlos Caltrain station.
Nicht verpassen
Run/walk around the block (1.2 miles)
There are some beautiful views of the hills and the Bay right around the block. The loop around the block is a relatively flat (a few slight hills) route just outside your door. Walk down the driveway, turn right to head West and then keep turning right at every intersection and you won't get lost (Coronet -> Pindle -> Ponce -> Read -> Casa Bona -> Coronet)
Nicht verpassen
Beautiful sunsets and twinkling city lights
Just look outside your Airbnb door for a view of the Bay and the mountains in the background. It's a nice sight at sunset or when the city lights are twinkling at night. You will get some other nice views walking a bit to the right down the street.
